The Summer School took place over four days, 13-16 June. The theme of this year's summer school was "The Global Application - from Development to Localisation". The course provided attendees with a thorough overview of the development of global software products. Each day of the course concentrated on a different aspect of this process. Days were divided into a theory session in the morning and a hands-on practical session in the afternoon.

NOTE: Due to the unique nature of the 2005 Summer School, material from the event is not available online.
